In mid-December the phrase 'We got him' echoed around the world. The American military reveled in pictures showing Saddam Hussein's humiliating capture. But since the Iraqi leader was found, Americans have felt less secure. The Department of Homeland Security has raised the nation's alert level from yellow to orange, the second-highest. A rash of foreign flights scheduled to fly to U.S. destinations were grounded due to terror fears. On New Year's Eve, scientists were dispatched to half a dozen U.S. cities over fears of a dirty bomb attack. And, perhaps the most disturbing development of all: Osama bin Laden put out an audio-tape to show the world he's still alive. The mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, the world's most wanted terrorist, is still out there, taunting us. Two years after he was overhead commanding troops in the battle of Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan, Osama is on the loose. Why can't we find him? This programme will attempt to answer that question, explaining why the hunt for Osama bin Laden remains enormously difficult, a world apart from the search for Saddam Hussein. It will explore the varied resources the U.S. is dedicating to find Osama, from troops on the ground to high-tech intelligence techniques. It will also look at the ways that Al Qaeda has grown since 9/11 and assess the prospects for success in bringing its ringleader to justice.
